Hooray for the DMV!

My daughter Jamie just returned from a spring break visit to my parents in California. She informed me that my step-dad, Norte, was going to have to go to the DMV and take a physical and a driving test. Because of his recent health issues, he isn't suspicious that anyone actually REQUESTED that he be called in and tested. This is good for keeping peace in the family, since I was the one who asked the DMV to intervene.
Norte still has a feeding tube in his stomache and a trachia tube in his neck (since late December). He cannot turn his head because of the trach. His hearing is terrible, and his vision and reflexes almost non-existant. He has some paperwork that his doctor has to fill out, so I hope she has a conversation with him around this issue. It is just too scary to think of him driving. So I am in a hope and pray mode around this.
